Osmosis
The movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to lower water potential. across a selectively permeable membrane
1 of 23
Active transport
The movement of a substance across a cell membrane against its concentration gradient.
2 of 23
Independant variable ( graph )
The thing you will be changing, on the left too.
3 of 23
Blood pressure
The force exerted by the blood against the artery wall
4 of 23
A tissue
A group of similar cells specialised to carry out the same function
5 of 23
Tertiary structure
When the polypeptide is coiled and folded into a specific shape held by bonds between the r groups.
6 of 23
Quaternary structure
The functional protein is made of more than one polypeptide chain, and they are help together by bonds between the r groups like tertairy structure.
7 of 23
Diastole
When the heart muscle is relaxed and the atria and then the ventricles fill with blood
8 of 23
Atrial systole
Atria wall contracts blood gets pushed into the ventricles and the atria is then emptied.
9 of 23
Ventricular systole
Ventricular walls contract, av valves are forced shut
10 of 23
Magnification
Size of the pic divided by the real size of the object
11 of 23
Real size
size of structure in the pic divided by magnification
12 of 23
Another name for RBC
Erythrocytes
13 of 23
Another name for WBC
Leucocytes
14 of 23
Eukaryotic cell
Has membrane bound nucleus and organelles
15 of 23
Condensation reaction
Where two molecules are joined by removing a hydrogen atom
16 of 23
Primary structure
The number and sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain.
17 of 23
Sino-atrial node (SAN)
Specialised cardiac cells in the wall of the right atrium
18 of 23
Atrio-ventricular node (AVN)
How impulses pass from the atria to the ventricles, these are specialised muscle cells.
19 of 23
Bundle of his
Muscle fibres that spread down the septum between the two ventricles
20 of 23
Myocardial infarction
Heart attack
21 of 23
Stroke volume
Volume of blood pumped out of the left ventricle in one cardiac cycle.
22 of 23
Cardiac output
Volume of blood pumped out the left ventricle in one min
